applecider 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2010 I recently coordinated a friend's wedding at the palace of the golden horses. Prior to the actual day, my friend had a lot of difficulties in her dealings with the sales person in charge. On the actual day, I was appalled to see a badly creased and torn stage backdrop, stains on the bowls and spoons, frayed napkins, holes, stains and loose threading on the table linens and chair covers! Nearly all the wooden lazy susans where chipping, and aged. Menus were placed upside down! It was so bad and deplorable that even a suburban restaurant seemed more promising. I have pictures to prove it! All the photos have the table number with the hotel's gold horse logo imprinted. http://mayjin.wordpress.com/2010/06/28/whe...-underdelivers/The next day, we learned from one of the guest that she found A PIECE OF GLASS in her daughter's drink, and demanded that the management explain it. We are still waiting for the explanation. Seriously, look at the pictures in the link above and decide for yourself if this is worth paying anything at all. The wedding photographer for that day also shared some of the many stories he has heard from other brides who had their weddings at the Palace of the Golden Horses, it seems like our story may not be an isolated case. Please don't put yourself through what we went through. Anyone deserves more than this! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eewang19 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 I think no body would want to have their wedding in PoGH since most of the discussion on this Hotel is almost long ago. Pls seriously think twice before having your big day there else it may very likely become a disaster wedding. I am so thankful that I managed to change to another hotel (as we don't see the point of continuing the negotiation process as whatever they promised will provide, changed after that!). However, the process of seeking the deposit refund (since the termination is within the refund period) from them is a very frustrating and stressful thing to handle. It's already a month but I don't receive any feedback from them. They are not responsive at all (plus the personnel handling our case already left the hote whilst the Director of Sales just keeping quiet throughout the email trails despite the complaints and all). The personnel whom I spoke to also not afraid if such complaint being escalate up to Consumer Association or its parent company, Country Heights (one of the personnel told me this: "If you want to report, report-lah!" <-- is this the service provided by a 6-star hotel?). The package isn't great cos whatever they promised may not be provided any way and for the site inspection (Unity Room), it's quite old. Well, those who previously had their nice wedding there, you girls were very lucky :) but I wish you good luck to those who plan to have or gonna have their wedding there soon.

DANIEL LEE 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2012 I think you girls better not consider this hotel. It is no longer as good as before. We performed there in May last month and there were many anxious moments when the hotel's projector can't play the video and slide shows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
